Get the Most Money When Selling your House

Every homeowner wants to make sure that they are receiving the most they can for their house. How do you know if you are getting the maximum value for your house? This is how you ensure that you get the highest price possible.

Price it a LITTLE Low

This might seem counterproductive, but believe me, you will benefit from it. Many homeowners think that pricing a little above market value will leave room for negotiation. This deters buyers from looking at your house if it is out of their price range. This lessens the demand for your house. Instead of the seller trying to win the negotiation with one buyer, they could have multiple buyers fighting over the house. Having multiple buyers fight over your house, can cause them to offer over the asking price.

Use a Real Estate Professional

The seller may think that they will net more money if they don’t have to pay real estate commission. Studies show that homes sell for more money when a real estate professional handles them.The National Association of Relatorsrevealed that"The median selling price for all For Sale By Owner (FSBO) homes was $185,000 last year. When the buyer knew that the seller was a FSBO, the median selling price sinks to $163,800. However, homes that were sold with the assistance of an agent had a median selling price of $245,000 - nearly $60,000 more for the typical home sale."
